Snowflex was invented in the 1990’s in England and gained popularity quickly. Most dry slope systems prior to Snowflex were based on molded plastics that didn’t offer good edging for skis and snowboards. The monofilament fibers were created on a “clean sheet basis” just for the ski industry. They create an excellent surface for the edge of skis and snowboards to grab. With the water misting system, the sliding is second to none. Snow tubes with the hard plastic bottoms work excellent and summer tubing is a big hit on Snowflex.
Sleepy Hollow Sports Park in Des Moines, Iowa will be the newest Snowflex center in the USA. Tubing, skiing and snowboarding will be available.
